Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020 OD_tables wiki and project status

lus a few others by phone who had done something similar. Most of the enriching of OSM from Ottawa's Open Data came through their portal such as the GTFS file. Martin and James have done most of the work integrating what they could find. Once we had the license lined up then I understand the build

Checked for Toronto and Ottawa they do not have "City of" : http://www4.rncan.gc.ca/search-place-names/search?q=Toronto[]=985=O I agree with what Bernie said, unless it's the official name. It seems it's a classification. On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 9:02 PM, Bernie Connors
